HERMAN MICHELL

“My inspiration, my hero is my Mother Luci Johnson, she does so much for our home community of Maskwacis, for the last 18 years she has been a criminal court worker serving the 4 nations of Maskwacis. The respect she has earned by the crown, judges and lawyers speaks for it self she is known on a first name basis as she has continued to provide legal support to first nations and non first nations within the Wetaskiwin Courthouse, she has won many provincial awards for her recognition for her work with the criminal justice system, youth justice and has had a successful youth justice committee for the last 16 years serving the community.”
